Easy positioning, quick results
The CP1 family is the perfect choice for any application that requires positioning. Whether for
conveyor control, point-to-point position control, or non-interpolated pick-and-place systems, the
combination of high-speed pulse outputs, variable speed drive control and position feedback will
provide all the functionality that you need for your application.
Ideal for position control
When simplicity and ease of use are essential, there is no
better solution for your position applications than combining
the CPꢀ family with servos and inverters from Omron’s
extensive range. The SmartStep 2 servo drive is a perfect
partner and offers high performance while keeping things
simple and cost effective. Omron provides standard functions
and Function Blocks for SmartStep 2 and other servo drives to
create your application with minimal effort.
Easy variable speed drive control
Variable speed drive control is made easy within the CPꢀ
family by using the serial port(s) and the Easy Modbus Master
feature for high-speed communication. Omron Function Blocks
enable you to control and monitor up to ꢁꢀ inverters in real-
time simply by configuration of parameters. With the encoders
connected to the high-speed counter inputs, the CPꢀ is able to
calculate the exact position to perform accurate positioning
easily and quickly. In addition, in the MX2 inverter series, all
simple positioning is handled within the drive itself.
Saving you time
For many standard functions Omron provide ready-to-use and tested Function Blocks that allow you to reduce
your programming and testing time. With Function Blocks you achieve faster, easier and more structured
programming that can also increase machine functionality. Ladder programming still remains the easiest
language for many people to use, but for more complex mathematical calculations ‘Structured Text’ (ST) offers
greater flexibility. These languages are supported in the CPꢀL and CPꢀH. Omron’s software is renowned for its
ease of use and intuitive style and CX-One is no exception.
